Package: taskcoach Version: 1.4.3-7 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
on testing if python-gtk2 is installed, taskcoach fails to start, these messages are displayed: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:40: Warning: g_boxed_type_register_static: assertion 'g_type_from_name (name) == 0' failed from gtk import _gtk /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:40: Warning: g_type_set_qdata: assertion 'node != NULL' failed from gtk import _gtk /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:40: Warning: cannot register existing type 'GtkWidget' from gtk import _gtk /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:40: Warning: g_type_add_interface_static: assertion 'G_TYPE_IS_INSTANTIATABLE (instance_type)' failed from gtk import _gtk /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:40: Warning: cannot register existing type 'GtkBuildable' from gtk import _gtk /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:40: Warning: g_type_interface_add_prerequisite: assertion 'G_TYPE_IS_INTERFACE (interface_type)' failed from gtk import _gtk /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:40: Warning: g_once_init_leave: assertion 'result != 0' failed from gtk import _gtk /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:40: Warning: g_type_register_static: assertion 'parent_type > 0' failed from gtk import _gtk and it just hangs. sudo apt remove python-gtk2 solves the issue, but unfortunately ATM it also remove gimp and other stuff. Good news: 1. there is a matching bug upstream https://sourceforge.net/p/taskcoach/bugs/1593/ 2. it has a patch (I have not tested it) 3. python-gtk is supposed to be removed from testinghttps://bugs.debian.org/885135 Paolo -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.15.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE= (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages taskcoach depends on: ii fonts-dejavu 2.37-1 ii libxss1 1:1.2.2-1+b2 ii python 2.7.15~rc1-1 ii python-chardet 3.0.4-1 ii python-dateutil 2.6.1-1 ii python-keyring 10.6.0-1 ii python-lockfile 1:0.12.2-2 ii python-pyparsing 2.2.0+dfsg1-2 ii python-squaremap 1:1.0.4-2 ii python-twisted-core 17.9.0-2 ii python-wxgtk3.0 3.0.2.0+dfsg-7 ii python-wxversion 3.0.2.0+dfsg-7 ii python-xdg 0.25-4 ii x11-utils 7.7+4 ii xdg-utils 1.1.2-2 Versions of packages taskcoach recommends: pn libavahi-compat-libdnssd1 <none> pn python-notify <none> Versions of packages taskcoach suggests: ii espeak 1.48.04+dfsg-5+b1 -- no debconf information
